This article examines the use of borrowings in Lithuanian from the linguistic perspective. The aim of the article is to discuss the most significant theoretical approaches to the integration of borrowings, to analyze new borrowings taken from different lingua franca, to determine the etymology of them, as well as to analyze the types of their integration taking into account the degree of their assimilation. The research work is based on the examples drawn from the list of borrowings, made by the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language in 2010-2015. This study establishes the differences between lexical borrowings and their Lithuanian standardised and non-standardised equivalents and shows what types of them are gradually becoming a norm in Lithuanian.
